new feature: receiving udp video strem from cheap toys with wifi cam's #187
Description
Request for new new feature: receiving udp video strem from cheap toys with wifi cam's
Receiving and playing back video streams from cheap toys equipped with Wi‑Fi cameras. The camera up an access point. We connect to it. UDP stream. Now decoder only in Buffering state.

Thanks for the request! We looked into it. Toys with a
FLOW-UFO-xxxxxxaccess point (BL60x camera, the KY UFO app) don't send plain RTP or raw UDP video. The drone waits for a probe from the client on192.168.169.1:8800, then sends MJPEG frames cut into 1 KB fragments, and the client has to keep acknowledging them. The decoder never sends that probe, so it stays in Buffering.We'll add this protocol as a new transport (video only, no flight control) and build a test APK from a separate branch. When it's ready I'll post a direct download link here. Could you then:

If there's no picture, or it looks wrong, please wait about 30 s, then open
http://127.0.0.1:8085/stats.jsonandhttp://127.0.0.1:8085/login a browser on the same phone and paste both here. Please also tell us the phone model, the Android version, and the toy's Wi‑Fi name and model. Thank you!CatRovacer commentedon Oct 15, 2026

Thank you, this helps a lot! A few things we can already see:
1. K200 (
FLY-UFO-1c8414, phone 192.168.1.100): the slot was set toflowufo://192.168.1.100:8800, but that is your phone's own address. The toy itself is almost certainly192.168.1.1. The 192.168.1.x network suggests an older family of these toys that streams plain RTSP. Could you try these two slots and tell us what each shows?rtsp://192.168.1.1:7070/webcamflowufo://192.168.1.1:88002. D16 (
FLOW_251DC0, phone 192.168.169.2): the toy should be192.168.169.1, so please useflowufo://192.168.169.1:8800. If there's still no picture, please sendhttp://127.0.0.1:8085/stats.jsonandhttp://127.0.0.1:8085/logfrom this toy after about 30 s. Theflowufopart of stats.json and theFLOW-UFOlines in the log show whether the toy answers at all. The D16 may use a different protocol (video on another port), and the log will tell us.3. YL3 (
HF_ba47b828, phone 192.168.80.3): this looks like yet another family. Which app does its manual or box tell you to install (name, or a link to the store page)? The toy is probably192.168.80.1.For each toy, the vendor app's name helps us most, since toys that use the same app usually share a protocol.

How to send us what the app sees (no extra tools needed: the decoder has a small built-in web server)
http://127.0.0.1:8085/log: the app's own log (last ~500 lines). It shows what the app sent to the toy and what came back.http://127.0.0.1:8085/stats.json: the current state of the slot.A screenshot (long-press on the picture) helps too if a picture appears but looks wrong (colours, stripes). Thanks a lot for testing!

@CatRovacer great news about the D16, thank you!

For each, please also tell us its Wi‑Fi name (
FLY-UFO-…,FLOW_…,HF_…) and the app from its manual (KY UFO, WIFI UAV, DVRunning 2…). We'll put this table in our docs. May we use your photo there too?The next test build is coming soon:

K200 картинка почти правильная, но повернулась "не в ту дверь". С параметром ?rotate=270 орииентация правильная, но появилась дикая задержка, примерно 1сек.
YL3: картинки нет, логи прикрепил.
На фото K200 справа внизу, крупнее, с черной решеткой защитой виртов сверху.
Кнопку сохранить на странице decoder не нашел, сохраняял из контестного меню. Наверно невнимательно смотрел.
